here.now lets agents publish websites and store private files in cloud Drives. Use Sites to publish HTML, documents, images, PDFs, videos, and static files to live URLs at {slug}.here.now or custom domains. Use Drives as private cloud folders where agents can store files (documents, context, memory, plans, assets, media, research, code, etc), share them with other agents, and continue across sessions and tools. Use when asked to "publish this", "host this", "deploy this", "share this on the web", "make a website", "put this online", "create a webpage", "generate a URL", "build a chatbot", "save this to my Drive", "store this for later", "write this to cloud storage", "share a folder with another agent", or "use my here.now Drive".

Outputs the live URL (e.g. https://bright-canvas-a7k2.here.now/).
Under the hood this is a three-step flow: create/update -> upload files -> finalize. A site is not live until finalize succeeds.
Without an API key this creates an anonymous site that expires in 24 hours.
With a saved API key, the site is permanent.
File structure: For HTML sites, place index.html at the root of the directory you publish, not inside a subdirectory. The directory's contents become the site root. For example, publish my-site/ where my-site/index.html exists — don't publish a parent folder that contains my-site/.
You can also publish raw files without any HTML. Single files get a rich auto-viewer (images, PDF, video, audio). Multiple files get an auto-generated directory listing with folder navigation and an image gallery.
The script auto-loads the claimToken from .herenow/state.json when updating anonymous sites. Pass --claim-token {token} to override.
Authenticated updates require a saved API key.
Use a Drive
Use a Drive when the user wants private cloud storage for agent files: documents, context, memory, plans, assets, media, research, code, and anything else that should persist without being published as a website.
Every signed-in account has a default Drive named My Drive.
DRIVE="${HERMES_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/drive.sh"
bash "$DRIVE" default
bash "$DRIVE"ls"My Drive"
bash "$DRIVE" put "My Drive" notes/today.md --from ./notes/today.md
bash "$DRIVE"cat"My Drive" notes/today.md
bash "$DRIVE" share "My Drive" --perms write --prefix notes/ --ttl 7d
Use scoped Drive tokens for agent-to-agent handoff. If you receive a herenow_drive share block, use its token as Authorization: Bearer <token> against api_base, respect pathPrefix when present, and preserve ETags on writes. A pathPrefix of null means full-Drive access. If the skill is available, prefer drive.sh; otherwise call the listed API operations directly.
API key storage
The publish script reads the API key from these sources (first match wins):
--api-key {key} flag (CI/scripting only — avoid in interactive use)
$HERENOW_API_KEY environment variable
~/.herenow/credentials file (recommended for agents)
IMPORTANT: After receiving an API key, save it immediately — run the command above yourself. Do not ask the user to run it manually. Avoid passing the key via CLI flags (e.g. --api-key) in interactive sessions; the credentials file is the preferred storage method.
Never commit credentials or local state files (~/.herenow/credentials, .herenow/state.json) to source control.
Getting an API key
To upgrade from anonymous (24h) to permanent sites:
Before creating or updating sites, you may check this file to find prior slugs.
Treat .herenow/state.json as internal cache only.
Never present this local file path as a URL, and never use it as source of truth for auth mode, expiry, or claim URL.
What to tell the user
For published sites:
Always share the siteUrl from the current script run.
Read and follow publish_result.* lines from script stderr to determine auth mode.
When publish_result.auth_mode=authenticated: tell the user the site is permanent and saved to their account. No claim URL is needed.
When publish_result.auth_mode=anonymous: tell the user the site expires in 24 hours. Share the claim URL (if publish_result.claim_url is non-empty and starts with https://) so they can keep it permanently. Warn that claim tokens are only returned once and cannot be recovered.
Never tell the user to inspect .herenow/state.json for claim URLs or auth status.
For Drives:
Do not describe Drive files as public URLs.
Tell the user Drive contents are private unless shared with a scoped token.
When sharing access with another agent, prefer a scoped token with a narrow pathPrefix and short TTL.

Beyond publish.sh
For Drive operations, use drive.sh or the Drive API. For broader account and site management — delete, metadata, passwords, payments, domains, handles, links, variables, proxy routes, forking, duplication, and more — see the current docs:
